Syllabus

<p>Sales (143)—Logs and Logging (56)—Remedies of Seller— Damages for Refusing to Accept Delivery. The purchaser of railroad ties ready for delivery at a siding is liable in damages for the value of part of the ties which it rejected and refused to take, where they were damaged by an unreasonable delay for months in taking delivery.</p> <p>Contracts (104)—Logs and Logging (3)—Consideration for Modification. Where a contract to cut and deliver all the railroad ties on certain land was, only partly performed, an agreement to cancel the balance and relieve the purchaser from any further’ claim, if he will take the ties on hand as per contract, is supported by a sufficient consideration, and is valid as a modification and termination of the first contract.</p>
